It's a BigBangTheory reunion. Mayim Bialik (missmayim), Jim Parsons team up for Fox comedy
Mayim Bialik is re-teaming with her former on-screen husband, Jim Parsons, for a Fox comedy calledThe multicamera comedy has landed at Fox with a hefty series commitment penalty, meaning if the show is not picked up to series, the network would have to pay producers Warner Bros. TV a sizable financial penalty.The comedy revolves around Carla as a 39-year-old woman who struggles every day against her mother to prove that you cannot have everything you want — and still be happy.
Darlene Hunt will pen the script and exec produce alongside Bialik, Parsons and his husband and producing partner Todd Spiewak, BBC Studios' Angie Stephenson and Hart. The potential series is a co-production between Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. TV — where Parsons and Bialik are both under overall deals following their longtime relationship with the studio behindAs an indie broadcast network without a studio counterpart following its asset sale to Disney, Fox is boarding many of its new shows as co-productions as a way to ensure it retains at least a partial ownership stake in its content.
“In pursuing a hand-crafted approach to our scripted development, [Fox Entertainment CEO] Charlie [Collier] and I knew, written by Darlene Hunt, was a project with great potential that could become the centerpiece of our comedy slate – and Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik coming to Fox Entertainment is obviously an enormous part of that equation," said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn.
The potential series arrives as Fox is looking for programming with broad-skewing appeal after abandoning its niche comedies. Bialik is a broadcast veteran with proven star appeal after an Emmy-nominated turn on CBS'. Should Carla move forward, it would give Fox an easily marketable star at a time when top talent is in high demand.
